Hi everyone,

Like everyone else here, I also launched many platforms, but I also failed a lot. The main pain of all this was lack of marketing skills.

I have seen a lot of brands and products utilizing memes as their primary content for marketing and have grown their social media accounts a lot. They get a lot of engagement and brand awareness just by posting memes.

I also tried that for one of the products but again when it comes to creating memes for new ideas, it takes time, and lot of efforts. I wanted something that can help me with my meme marketing.

That's why I built MemePe. An AI-powered meme content platform that can generate memes while keep the context about your brand, or product. You can generate memes for your products with just one click of a button.

I launched MemePe on Monday and pushed updates every day to make it smoother and better day by day. The end goal is to make MemePe my Meme marketing machine that can do the marketing with memes automatically without me doing anything.

If you like the concept of MemePe and what we have built so far, please give it a try. Looking forward to your feedback, negative or positive. Thanks!


Hey fellow builders,

2 days ago I got an idea to build a SaaS to find emails from LinkedIn. and I got this idea because I bought a domain back in March (BoringLead .com), Yes I bought the domain first and then thought of what to build for it.

But after 2 days of development, I was finally able to launch BoringLead, a platform where you just need to enter a keyword, targeted country, and hit search. it will find and return the emails and their LinkedIn profiles for you.

Once you get emails, they will be in your search history which you can download as CSV.

I wanted to build something like the Apollo lead platform and I think this is a good first step toward it.

Do check out the platform. Looking forward to all your positive and negative feedback.


Following is my journey of creating a Chrome extension in 24 hours.

1. I wanted to create something with ChatGPT API, so the first thing I did is to get the API Key.

2. Search on youtube on how to make a Chrome extension (Because before this I had no idea how to build extensions).

3. At some point, Something was not working as expected. I was so frustrated then I took 2 hours break and started to solve that problem fresh.

4. I took help from ChatGPT whenever I needed it. It helped me a lot.

5. I did not spend much time creating a logo. I just went to one icon generator website and selected the icon and download it.

6. I used Chakra UI for the first time and I loved it. It helped me to create good looking UI with minimal code.

7. I learned a lot about how to debug the Chrome extension. earlier I was struggling to make sense of what is going wrong in the code.

8. I am using Lemon Squeezy to distribute my Chrome extension. this way I don't need to worry about payments.

9. Now I will do my best to market my Chrome extension on Twitter.


Hi guys,

My name is Manoj, I have launched couple of products. Most of them failed but still i am continuing to build.

In 3 of my products, I had feature to show News from the category (Financial news for my fintech app, Educational articles for my kids friendly learning app).

Everytime I had to write web scrapper to get the latest content, then scheduling the jobs and having backend to handle all this. Then it came to my mind to pull this functionality as standalone product.

That's how QuickFloat was born. Initially I put together a system to fetch all the latest content from multiple categories and offer the content as API service.

Then I thought to expand QuickFloat to other APIs such as Financial data, Content parsing. Now I am building QuickFloat as a product to help people build their products without worrying about how to get the data.

I don't know if it will work or not but will give it a shot. The worse thing that can happen is I will fail again :P.

Cheers!! Manoj


1) Few worthwhile efforts are ever successful on the first attempt.

2) Failure is just another useful metric. It gives guidance for designing the next attempt.

The most glaring failure on your website is marketing. The landing page is excellent, but I didn't even see that there was additional information lower on the page until I returned later to see if I misjudged your site. The 5 options at the top of the landing page define the organization of the page. The rest of the information below does not relate to that established organization. "As seen in ..." does not be in so prominent a place.

I clicked on the first service you offered and saw absolutely nothing that I considered informative. I was looking for immediately useful information like what topics you covered. In addition, the drop-down banner across the top of the screen obscured the headline, and the incessant flicking of the banner as I tried to read the headline was extremely annoying. Wash and repeat my friend : ) Good luck.
